Maalgadi is our latest obsession for quirky products, and features everything from vibrant camera straps and ashtrays to accessories for the witty budget shopper in you.
Based out of Surat, this website delivers pan-India {delivery charges depend upon the city}. After scouring the website for awesome things, we handpicked five things we loved.
Maalgadi has cool camera straps in different colours and prints, to add a bit of a colour to our drab black cameras. Their wanderlust strap – green with tiny figures on it – is spot on.
Basically, this is perfect for anyone who owns a DSLR or even a vintage camera.

Need a housewarming gift but choices are vast and hard? We narrowed it down for you. If you have a smoker friend, who’s also a Batman fan – we say this Joker-inspired ashtray makes for a cool purchase.
As non-smokers, we would love to put up their heart-shaped ashtray in our living rooms. They also do coffin-shaped and Bob Dylan-inspired ashtrays if that’s what you’re into.
